+                           New year, who dis?
+
+Abstract
+
+   Time is a flat circle
+
+Body
+
+   I'm not going to mention last year in number, I don't even want to
+   hear people with perfect vision talk about their eyes. We're in a new
+   year, Drumpf is going to be out of office in less than three weeks,
+   and I have a new design for my blog…more like, LACK of design.
+
+   1. Why
+
+      I published a grand total of two posts last year. TWO. I was busy
+      working on personal projects, dealing with this general malaise of
+      uncertainty, and didn't feel like dealing with the annoying
+      process of updating my blog. Yuk. As a result though, I have
+      several half-finished posts I can/will upload this year since my
+      blog setup is extremely pared down.
+
+      Being an architech (a designer who codes and vice-versa) is hella
+      annoying. I am displeased by my design AND my code after a period
+      of time, and then I detest it far too much. Maybe my experience
+      and age has brought me to the point of realizing I don't need the
+      latest fancy UI ~~blemishes~~ features and tooling to get
+      something online. I *may* update this to support TypeScript and
+      `import`s because I quite enjoy that.
+
+      This blog is also missing analytics. They were never on the
+      front-end, but in the server. One of my many tasks this year is to
+      overhaul my analytics platform[1] to make it robust enough to
+      charge money for.
+
+   2. What (now)
+
+      I think adding automated deployments would be a nice
+      quality-of-life feature and would definitely encourage me to write
+      more. Currently, I have to upload a new text file to my server and
+      refresh the pm2 job. In any event, this blog is the first step in
+      realizing my personalOS[2] concept in concrete forms and I suppose
+      this is the year to document everything as I go through it.
+
+      You can check out the previous[3] incarnation of this blog if
+      you're curious to see what it was like.
+
+      I think 2021 is gonna be big for data portability and flat files
+      are the easiest way to do it. The fact that this blog is just a
+      single JavaScript file and a folder full of text files (okay AND
+      a couple Node.js modules 😒) is kind of neat…actually, that
+      wouldn't be a bad idea for socii[4] to implement. Maybe I'll
+      relaunch that soon. We'll see. 🕸
